What is the ruling on intentionally terminating a pregnancy?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The questioner : The second question: She said that she was one and a half months pregnant, so she intentionally worked to terminate the pregnancy out of ignorance of its ruling. After she learned that this is not permissible, she regretted it greatly. Does she owe anything for that?

The Shaykh : As long as she has repented to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) for what she did, repentance obliterates what came before it. And Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) said:

Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins

قل يا عبادي الذين أسرفوا على أنفسهم لا تقنطوا من رحمة الله إن الله يغفر الذنوب جميعاً

[Az-Zumar 39:53]

So whoever repents to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) with sincere repentance, Allah forgives him the sin from which he repented. Yes.
